I usually get around 21-23 MPG per tank normal mixed driving, with a rare 25 thrown in if I fill with 93 Octane (it definitely makes a difference both in power and mileage)
I was pleasantly surprised today when I towed my boat for the first time with my Powerboost.

Sure-
The ARB Compressor wiring harness is extremely large and complex. I completely gutted it and used their wiring to make a simple harness. On the front of the compressor I mounted a relay and push button switch to power it on and off.
As far as wiring to the battery, The +12v 10 gauge...
Thanks for all the replies!
To answer some questions- The cabin filter is new and clean- I only have 3600 miles on the truck. I checked the coolant, and I checked for leaks- everything checks out OK.
The heat will work a little better if not on Auto setting, but still not how I would like.
It...
Thanks for the reply. I placed this thread in the "Powerboost" section for that reason, but a MOD moved it...
The heat system is different (and complicated) for the powerboost.
Anybody else?
It just takes forever to get hot and even then it never really gets that hot. I could leave the auto setting on high for like 1/2 an hour before it gets too hot in the cabin. This is still happening with temps in the 40's...
I think part of the heat is the A/C running like a heat...
Today I took off the "4x4" stickers and the "Powerboost" emblems, to clean up the outside a bit.
Whoever at Ford came up with the adhesive for the Powerboost emblems should get employee of the year. Those emblems will be the absolute LAST thing to fall off these trucks. What a PITA.
Anyway...
Thank you so much for this thread!
What an improvement!
I didn't remove any fender liner screws, just needed a 10mm deepwell socket (deepwell gave me more grip) and turned it counterclockwise by hand.
World of difference. I also checked light output in front of the truck, and no way they...
Hey there!
I was using Adaptive Cuise today, set on 68MPH (lane assistance off) in moderate traffic. The system was working great, maintaining my distance perfectly. However, on 4 separate occasions the actual SET SPEED on the dash changed randomly. At first I thought I accidently tapped a...
That's what I've been reading. They still stay on and fit with the 1 tab broken though, right?
I know most folks on here hate chrome- so maybe, maybe, somebody will be up for a trade! Fingers crossed.
Thanks!
I have two 20' hoses in that black bag next to the compressor (I think in the pic it's only 1 hose in there though)
I blew up 3 cheaper compressor before shelling out the cash for the ARB. It's a real good piece of kit!
THIRD MOD
I wanted a relatively clean mount for my camper rearview monitor. I tapped into the 12V power outlet. I got to take some stuff apart today, lol.
